I noticed my female cat Ivory started limping a little bit and when she is sitting she doesnt put any pressure on her one paw. So my mom and I checked it out. Well it seems like her claw has either grown into her paw pad or it broke off part way and got stuck in the pad. I've made an appt. to go to vet doc today. I heard it was a pretty common thing in cats that have not been declawed. Ever experienced it? or taken your cat to the vet for it? Any ideas of cost? Will she have to be sedated? Any input anyone could give me will be great.
